Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made by delivery of: (i) cash in the aggregate amount of Seven Million Eight Hundred Fifty Nine Thousand Five Hundred Seventy Nine Dollars and Sixty Six Cents ($7,859,579.66) (the “Cash Portion”), payable by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds or by certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the Sellers, which such Cash Portion includes a $1,700,000 amount allocated to payments for inventory of the Seller; and (ii) 18,414 newly issued shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Buyer, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), representing an aggregate value of Four Million One Hundred Six Thousand Three Hundred Eighty Six Dollars and Forty Four Cents ($4,106,386.44).

2.2 Adjustments to Purchase Price.

(a) Reconstructed EBITDA Adjustments.

(i) The Company has received the audited financial statements for the twelve-month period ending on July 31, 2023 as audited by CohnReznick LLP (the “Audited Financial Statements”). After the receipt of the Audited Financial Statements, the Company has reported that the EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on November 30, 2023, will be $1,467,073.35 (the “EBITDA Projection”). The Purchase Price will be based upon a 6x multiple of the EBITDA Projection on November 30, 2023 (“Reconstructed EBITDA”), which such multiplied price will be then increased by a non-recurring adjustment of $1,463,526 equal to 3x inventory as of November 30, 2023. In addition, the Purchase Price shall include a cash payment, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for Inventory (the “Estimated Inventory Payment”) on hand and held for use at the Closing, which is currently estimated to be One Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,700,000). The actual Purchase Price to be paid at the Closing shall be adjusted upwards or downwards based upon (A) the difference between the 6x multiple of Reconstructed EBITDA and the Purchase Price; and (B) the difference between the Estimated Inventory Payment and actual amount of Inventory at Closing. Any adjustments decreasing the Purchase Price because Reconstructed EBITDA is less than the EBITDA Projection shall be allocated proportionately to both the Cash Portion and the Preferred Stock. Any adjustments increasing the Purchase Price because Reconstructed EBITDA is greater than the EBITDA Projection shall be allocated proportionally to the Cash Portion and the Preferred Stock.

(ii) In the event the Sellers do not agree with the Reconstructed EBITDA as set forth in the EBITDA Projection, the Sellers shall so inform the Buyer in writing within 20 days of the Sellers’ receipt thereof, such writing to set forth the objections of the Sellers in reasonable detail. If the Sellers and the Buyer cannot reach agreement as to any disputed matter relating to the Reconstructed EBITDA as set forth in the Audited Financial Statements, as well as in the EBITDA Projection within 15 days after notification by the Sellers to the Buyer of a, they shall forthwith refer the dispute to an Independent Accounting Firm mutually agreeable to the Sellers and the Buyer for resolution, with the understanding that such firm shall resolve all disputed items within 20 days after such disputed items are referred to it. If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to agree on the choice of an Independent Accounting Firm, they shall select an Independent Accounting Firm by lot from up to three firms proposed by each of the Sellers and Buyer (after excluding their respective regular outside accounting firms). The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, based on the proportion that the aggregate amount of disputed items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers, on one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand, as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm, bears to the total amount of such disputed items so referred to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution. The decision of the accounting firm with respect to all disputed matters relating to the Reconstructed EBITDA shall be deemed final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer. In addition, if the Sellers do not object to within the 20-day period referred to above, the Reconstructed EBITDA shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer.

(b) Adjustment for Outstanding Indebtedness. The Cash Portion (and the Purchase Price) shall be decreased by the amount of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money existing as of the Closing Date and the deducted amount shall be utilized to pay off such outstanding indebtedness.

2.3 Closing. The consummation of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) will take place by the reciprocal delivery of closing documents by electronic mail, regular mail, fax or any other means mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto within thirty (30) days of financing, which is expected to occur sixty (60) days from the date of the signing of this Agreement, or a subsequent date that is no later than two (2) Business Days immediately following the day on which the last of the conditions to closing contained in Article VII (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) is satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement or at such other location or on such other date as the Buyer and the Company may mutually determine (the date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date”).

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival. The representations and warranties made herein and in any certificate delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2 (Authority and Enforceability), 3.4 (The Securities), 3.5 (Brokers Fees), 4.2 (Incorporation, Qualification and Corporate Power; Authority and Enforceability), 4.5 (Capitalization), 4.8 (Taxes), 4.21 (Brokers Fees), 5.1 (Organization); 5.2 (Authorization) and 5.7 (Broker Fees) of this Agreement (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. If written notice of a claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then notwithstanding any statement herein to the contrary, the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim, until such claim is finally resolved. Unless a specified period is set forth in this Agreement (in which event such specified period will control), all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in effect indefinitely.

9.2 Indemnification by Seller Parties. From and after the Closing, the Seller Parties agree to indemnify, defend and save Buyer and its Affiliates, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against or affecting such Person; provided, that “Losses” shall not include punitive damages, speculative damages or damages that are not the reasonably foreseeable consequence of the breach giving rise to such Losses except, in each case, to the extent such damages are required to be paid to a third party pursuant to a Third-Party Claim. (individually and collectively, the “Losses”) suffered, sustained or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller Parties or the Company contained in Article III or IV of this Agreement; or (b) the failure of Seller Parties to perform any of their covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.

9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and save the Sellers and to the extent applicable, the Sellers’ Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise by virtue of: (a) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Article V of this Agreement or (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.

9.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) If a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article IX, such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim. In that regard, if any Action, Liability or obligation shall be brought or asserted by any third party which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Article IX (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim in writing, specifying the basis of such claim and the facts pertaining thereto, and the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party so elects, shall assume and control the defense thereof (and shall consult with the Indemnified Party with respect thereto), including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all necessary expenses. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel; in which case the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. All claims other than Third-Party Claims (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving notice to the Indemnifying Party. Absent an emergency or other extenuating circumstance, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such Direct Claim prior to taking any material actions to remedy such Direct Claim.

(b) In no event shall the Indemnified Party pay or enter into any settlement of any claim or consent to any judgment with respect to any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

9.5 Failure to Give Timely Notice. A failure by an Indemnified Party to provide notice as provided in Section 9.4 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Person except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Person entitled to receive such notice was damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. Nothing contained in this Section 9.4 shall be deemed to extend the period for which Seller Parties’ representations and warranties will survive Closing as set forth in Section 9.1 above.

9.6 Limitations on Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of the Seller Parties to the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (but not with respect to the Fundamental Representations for which recover shall not be so limited) is subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Seller Parties shall not, in the aggregate, be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Losses arising under Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations for which recovery shall be limited to the amount of the Purchase Price) except to the extent that the amounts indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds an aggregate maximum equal ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price (the “Deductible”). In the event the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ claim for Losses, in the aggregate, exceed the Deductible, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for all Losses.

(b) The aggregate liability of each Seller Party for Losses under Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed thirty-five (35%) of the Purchase Price (the “Standard Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, the foregoing Standard Indemnification Cap shall not apply to a breach of the Fundamental Representations or in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation. The aggregate liability of each Seller Party for Losses in respect of a breach of a Fundamental Representation shall not exceed the Purchase Price (the “Fundamental Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, the foregoing Fundamental Indemnification Cap shall not apply in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(c) Neither the Seller Parties nor the Buyer shall be liable to the other for Losses arising under Section 9.2 or 9.3, as applicable, unless the claim therefor is asserted in writing on or prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties.

9.7 Payments. Payments of all amounts owing by an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX shall be made promptly, and in the event that the indemnification claim is a direct claim against the Indemnifying Party, not involving any third parties, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to surrender stock, at Indemnifying Party’s discretion upon the determination in accordance with this Article IX that an indemnification obligation is owing by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party.

9.8 Exclusive Remedy. Other than claims for fraud or willful misconduct, the indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims under, or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of, this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, fraud, or otherwise, and whether asserted against the Company, its officers, directors or employees, the Sellers or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any party, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto, on behalf of itself and its equity owners, directors, managers, officers, employees, and Affiliates, agrees not to bring any actions or proceedings, at Law, equity or otherwise, against any other party hereto or its and its equity owners, directors, managers, officers, employees, and Affiliates, in respect of any breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant and agreement in this Agreement, except pursuant to the express provisions of this Article IX. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to bring an action for injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including specific performance, and no limitation or condition of liability provided in this Article IX shall apply to any claim arising from fraud or criminal misconduct by a party to this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

The following provisions of this Article X shall govern the allocation between the Buyer and Seller Parties of responsibility for certain Tax matters involving the Company following the Closing Date. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Article X and any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Article X shall control.

10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns; Control of Audits; Tax Refunds.

(a) The Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared for filing by the Company all Tax Returns for the Company for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Periods”) that are due after the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Company’s past practices, except to the extent required by applicable Law. Such Tax Returns (including any related work papers or other information reasonably requested by the Buyer), shall be provided to the Buyer for its review not later than forty-five (45) Business Days before the due date for filing such Tax Returns (including extensions). If the Buyer does not provide the Sellers with a written description of the items in the Tax Returns or the tax statement that the Buyer intends to dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery to the Buyer of such documents, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to such documents in the form provided, and the Buyer shall thereafter cause all such Tax Returns to be timely filed. The Buyer shall not make any changes to such Tax Returns without the prior written approval of the Sellers. Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers for any Losses they may suffer or incur for Buyer’s failure to timely file such Tax Returns or obtain the approval of the Sellers as required in this Section. The Sellers and the Buyer agree to consult with each other and to negotiate in good faith any timely-raised issue arising as a result of the review of such Tax Returns or the tax statement to permit the filing of such Tax Returns as promptly as possible, which good faith negotiations shall include each side exchanging in writing their positions concerning the matter or matters in dispute and a meeting to discuss their respective positions. In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of written notice by the Buyer of such dispute, the Sellers and the Buyer shall jointly request the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve any issue in dispute at least five (5) Business Days before the due date of such Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make a determination with respect to any disputed issue within five (5) Business Days before the due date (including extensions) for the filing of the Tax Return in question, and the Buyer shall cause the Company to file such Tax Return on the due date (including extensions) therefor in a manner consistent with the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be binding on all parties; provided that any such determination shall be limited to the resolution of issues in dispute. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party (i.e., the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand) that assigned amounts to items in dispute that were, on a net basis, furthest in amount from the amount finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. The Sellers will timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) all Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities (as such term is defined herein) shown as due and owing on all such Tax Returns. Except as expressly contemplated in this Article X, under no circumstances shall the Buyer or the Company amend any Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Periods without the prior written consent of the Sellers.

(b) In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, or payroll of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on a closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The Buyer shall cause the Company to prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for the Straddle Periods. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Company’s past practices, except to the extent required by applicable Law. Such Tax Returns (including any related work papers or other information reasonably requested by the Sellers) shall be provided to the Sellers for review not later than forty-five (45) Business Days before the due date for filing such Tax Returns (including extensions). If the Sellers do not provide the Buyer with a written description of the items in the Tax Returns or the tax statement that the Sellers intend to dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days following the delivery to the Sellers of such documents, the Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to such documents in the form provided, and the Buyer shall thereafter cause such Tax Returns to be timely filed by the Company in the form provided to the Sellers. The Buyer and the Sellers agree to consult with each other and to negotiate in good faith any timely-raised issue arising as a result of the review of such Tax Returns or the tax statement to permit the filing of such Tax Returns as promptly as possible, which good faith negotiations shall include each side exchanging in writing their positions concerning the matter or matters in dispute and a meeting to discuss their respective positions. In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of written notice by the Sellers of such dispute, the Buyer and the Sellers shall jointly request the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve any issue in dispute at least five (5) Business Days before the due date of such Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make a determination with respect to any disputed issue within five Business Days before the due date (including extensions) for the filing of the Tax Return in question, and the Buyer shall cause the Company to file such Tax Return on the due date (including extensions) therefor in a manner consistent with the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be binding on all parties; provided that any such determination shall be limited to the resolution of issues in dispute. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party (i.e., the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand) that assigned amounts to items in dispute that were, on a net basis, furthest in amount from the amount finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm. In addition to the Straddle Period Tax Returns prepared by the Buyer pursuant to this Section, the Buyer shall also submit to the Sellers, together with such Straddle Period Tax Returns, a proposed allocation of the Taxes with respect to any such Straddle Period for which the Sellers are responsible (“Sellers’ Straddle Period Allocation”), and the dispute resolution mechanism set forth in this Section shall also apply with respect to such proposed Sellers’ Straddle Period Allocation. The Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Buyer on or before the date which is the later of three (3) Business Days before the due date of each applicable Tax Return (after giving effect to any valid extensions), or five days after such final determination, the amount of the Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities for which the Sellers are responsible as determined herein.

(c) The Buyer and the Sellers shall cooperate fully in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section and, subject in all respects to the provisions hereof, in connection with any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company. Such cooperation shall include the reasonable furnishing or making available during normal business hours of personnel, powers of attorney, and the retention and (upon a party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the preparation of any such Tax Return or to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding. The Buyer and the Sellers shall (a) retain or cause to be retained all books and records that are in its or his possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or the Sellers, any extension thereof) of the applicable taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority, and (b) give the other parties hereto reasonable written notice before transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Buyer or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(d) The Buyer and the Sellers shall, upon request, use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby).

(e) To the extent that, subsequent to the date hereof, the Company receives any Tax refund attributable to the period of time prior to the Closing, or the Buyer receives any such Tax refund attributable to the operations of the prior to the Closing, such Tax refund shall be the property of the Sellers, other than to the extent set forth in the following sentence, and the Buyer shall cause the Company to remit such Tax refund to the Sellers within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof. Any payment to Sellers pursuant to this section shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(f) Without the prior written consent of the Sellers, neither the Buyer nor the Company shall make or change any election, change any annual accounting period, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Company, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, or take any other similar action, or omit to take any action, if such action or omission would have the effect of increasing the present or future liability or obligation of the Sellers to indemnify the Buyer with respect to Taxes pursuant to the provisions hereof.

10.2 Tax Claims. In the event a claim is made or a deficiency alleged following the Closing relating to the Company by the IRS or any other Taxing Authority, which, if successful, would result in a loss or liability in respect of which indemnity properly may be sought against the Sellers, jointly and severally, pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, an “Indemnity Tax Matter”), then the following shall apply:

(a) After the Company receive actual notice of such claim or alleged deficiency, the Buyer shall, or the Buyer shall cause the Company to, promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) notify the Sellers in writing of such claim or alleged deficiency.

(b) The Sellers shall have the right to represent the interests of the Company before the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to any Indemnity Tax Matter and shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of any such Indemnity Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Indemnity Tax Matter. The Buyer shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense of such Indemnity Tax Matter and to employ counsel, at the Buyer’s own expense, separate from counsel employed by the Sellers, and the Sellers shall keep the Buyer informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Indemnity Tax Matter and will, in good faith, allow the Buyer to consult with it regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such Action.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2(b), the Sellers shall not settle or compromise any Indemnity Tax Matter without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, unless such settlement or compromise would have no net adverse Tax impact upon the Company or the Buyer, which shall be determined taking into account any indemnification payment actually made by the Sellers to the Company and/or the Buyer pursuant to the provisions hereof coincident with any such settlement or compromise, in which case the consent of the Buyer shall not be required with respect to such settlement or compromise.

10.3 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, and other such similar Taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will be borne and paid by the Sellers when due, and the Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes.

10.4 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article X the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) "Post-Closing Tax Period" means any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

(b) "Pre-Closing Tax Period" means any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, including without limitation the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period.

10.5 Liability for Taxes.

(a) The Sellers will be solely responsible, jointly and severally, for the following Taxes (collectively, the "Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities"): (i) all Taxes imposed upon the Sellers, (ii) all Taxes imposed upon any Company with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and which are attributable to operations of the Company prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) with respect to Straddle Periods (if any), all Taxes imposed upon the Company which are allocable, pursuant to Section 10.1(b), to the Pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period. Any payment to Sellers pursuant to this section shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(b) The Company will be solely responsible for any and all Taxes (collectively, the "Post-Closing Tax Liabilities") of, or payable by, the Company that do not constitute Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities, including without limitation, in the case of Taxes with respect to a Straddle Period, all Taxes which are allocable, pursuant to this Article X, to the portion of such taxable year or period commencing after the Closing Date.

The parties hereto further agree that their respective good faith participation in mediation is a condition precedent to pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedy, including litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution procedures. Either party may commence the mediation process by providing to the other party written notice, setting forth the subject of the dispute, claim or controversy and the relief requested. Within ten (10) days after the receipt of the foregoing notice, the other party shall deliver a written response to the initiating party's notice. The initial mediation session shall be held within thirty (30) days after the initial notice.

The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that mediation proceedings are settlement negotiations, and that, to the extent allowed by applicable law, all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties or their agents shall be confidential and inadmissible in any arbitration or other legal proceeding involving the parties; provided, however, that evidence which is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. The provisions of this section may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.

(c) All disputes, controversies or claims between the parties hereto arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including its existence, validity or termination) that cannot be amicably resolved or resolved through mediation shall be finally resolved and settled by arbitration administered by the JAMS in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules. The arbitration tribunal shall be composed of one (1) arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in Miami, Florida, and shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Miami, Florida for such purpose and for the purpose of exercising any equitable remedies available to the parties hereunder, and each party hereby waives any objection such person may have based on improper venue or inconvenient forum in connection with any such action or proceeding in any such court.

11.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.
